The third generation architecture spawned the most body styles, with a new Holden utility launched in 2000 (now officially as the Holden Ute), reborn Monaro coupé in 2001, four-door Holden Crewman utility and all-wheel drive (AWD) Holden Adventra crossover in 2003. Long- wheelbase Statesman/Caprice derivatives and Commodore utility body variants followed in 1990. From 1984, Holden began branding the flagship model as Holden Calais, with the Commodore Berlina introduced in 1984 gaining independent Holden Berlina nomenclature in 1988. Initially introduced as a single sedan body style, the range expanded in 1979 to include a station wagon. The fourth generation Commodore, fully developed and manufactured in Australia, was based on the Holden developed Zeta platform.
Subsequent series of Holden Commodore became larger, and were also influenced by the Opel Senator and Opel Omega. This was redesigned by Holden, to suit the demands of the Australian market, road conditions and manufacturing. Initially, the Commodore was based on the Opel Commodore (C), a smaller, contemporary rear wheel drive (RWD) platform designed by General Motors' German subsidiary. įrom 1978, the Commodore replaced the long-serving Holden Kingswood and Holden Premier: mid-sized executive cars developed in Australia. All sales of new Commodores ended in 2020, coinciding with the discontinuation of the Holden marque and nameplate entirely. īetween 20, a rebadged Opel Insignia, built in Germany, was sold in Australia as the Holden Commodore (ZB). It was manufactured from 1978 to 2017 in Australia and from 1979 to 1990 in New Zealand, with production of the locally manufactured versions in Australia ending on 20 October 2017. The Holden Commodore is a full-size car that was sold by Holden from 1978 to 2020.
